THE OCTOPI OF AMPHORA
The mermaid nation of Amphora is a great friend
of all sea life. The Octopi, due to their eight legs
and great manual dexterity, are frequently hired as
postal clerks by the Amphoran Postal Service.
This stamp depicts a ceramic sculpture I created
in the 1990's, entitled "The Fish Mother," as she
has a large fish symbol engraved on her skirt.
Octopi are well known from the classical art of
Minoa and often appear on their ceramic pots.
